Eichler flat roofs leak.
Many homes are 1950s Eichlers and tract houses, and many residents live in apartments. Many Mountain View homes are 1950s Eichlers and tract houses with flat or low-slope roofs, radiant slab heating and original copper plumbing, and many residents live in apartment complexes with shared plumbing. When a radiant heating pipe leaks, water spreads under the floor and can be hard to find. Old Mountain View has older homes with raised foundations, and quakes on nearby faults can crack pipes and loosen water heaters. Many apartment complexes date from the 1960s and 1970s, with aging water heaters and shared plumbing stacks.

Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Mountain View?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Mountain View Building Inspection division.
Does insurance cover earthquake damage in Mountain View?
Not by default. Earthquake coverage is a separate policy, often through the California Earthquake Authority, and it has its own deductible.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
